Small Streams. Big Impact.
Spending time in the Shenandoah Valley means feeling connected to water, whether that’s through fond memories of stream stomping, fishing, swimming in a nearby lake or simply appreciating the local water sources with which we are blessed.
Shenandoah Rail Trail
We believe that in order to be motivated to protect a resource, one must have a personal, intimate connection, and the Shenandoah Rail Trail will create opportunities to inspire clean-water stewards up and down the Valley.
Comprehensive Planning for Water Quality
Shenandoah and Rockingham counties have both just approved major rewrites of their plans and both include an emphasis on the importance of water
Solving the Maintenance Problem
The Alliance and new partner Appalachian Conservation Corps have worked together on a program that reduces barriers to installing streamside buffers while also building a workforce that understands rural conservation needs.
Bringing Innovation for Water Quality
Bioreactors, coupled with other on-farm practices to make fertilizer use more efficient, are a promising tool to significantly improve water quality for all community members.
Permanent Land Protection
Conservation easements are a proven strategy to permanently protect valuable farms and forests, streams and rivers.
